I came in from TX on work looking for a legit BJJ school and was welcomed with open arms. I was…read moreimmediately welcomed when I arrived and everyone had a smile on their face. John Gutta (head instructor & black belt) is an awesome guy who lives the BJJ life style. What to expect: Amazing class structure, critical details, effective techniques, great culture, plenty of partners to roll with (male and female), clean mats, bathrooms and changing room. If you're in the area and looking to learn at a legit academy I'd highly recommend Tipping Point BJJ. For reference: I'm currently a purple belt under Jeff Massina at Revolution Dojo Katy, TX.

I was in Cedar Rapids for a training seminar and had the pleasure of being able to squeeze in a…read moretraining session at Tipping Point. I have nothing but positive things to say about this academy. The students were all welcoming and friendly and the instructor (John) did an excellent job breaking down technique and also explaining why the technique should be used. What I thought was really cool was that the class instruction was based around some things John had noticed from other competitors at a recent competition. He broke down what he was seeing and taught solutions to techniques that were being used. The skill level of the various belts was on par if not higher than many of the academies I have trained at along the west coast. There is a misconception that 'not a lot of jiujitsu gets in and out of middle America' and I can reassure that this is clearly not the case at Tipping Point. These guys are tough! I had a lot of fun training here and will absolutely visit again the next time I'm in town.

I don't know why the other person gave Mr. Evans a 2, my husband and 3 children go here and…read morethoroughly enjoy. There are many families that attend. My oldest is, well husband is 51, child is 14, 12 & 8. They have learned so much. Mr. Evans is AMAZING. My husband works split shifts so he is willing to give them lessens outside of class time to make sure they are all caught up. He has paying scales and fun activities outside of class for the families. I looked for years for a TaeKwondo place and finally found this one and am so happy we did

Mr. Evans does a great job with young beginners. It is when the kids become older (teens) and…read moretehir skills become advanced (blackblet and above) that he struggles to teach them. I would recommend Evans ATA if you are looking for a fun activity for your younger child to participate in. However, if you are looking to make martial arts a long term endeavor or have a teen interetsted in learning, look elsewhere.

We experienced unfair discrimination from Master Price and other leaders. They were quick to make…read morejudgments about the children, while never asking clarifying questions to understand them. They definitely have favorites and kids are treated differently depending on how much they like you. Even for the younger kids, they will hardly give second chances, especially if you aren't a favorite. We saw this even though we were active members for years and participated in multiple competitions for Revolution.
